Holly Bolly Celebs Clones (11 pics)

Hollywood Bollywood Celebrities Look-Alikes -

A look-alike is a living person who closely resembles another living person. In popular Western culture, a look-alike is a person who bears a close physical resemblance to a celebrity, politician or member of royalty. Many look-alikes earn a living by making guest appearances at public events or performing on television or film, playing the person they resemble. Here are some Bollywood celebrities look-alike Hollywood & Bollywood itself.

Priyanka Chopra & Gunjan Baskhi - Mumbai model Gunjan Bakshi looks a lot like ex-Miss World and actress Priyanka Chopra. Gunjan, who has done commercials for well-known brands like Airtel, Nokia, Hide and Seek and Dabur, says it's amusing when people mistake her for Priyanka.

"Once I was having dinner with my cousin and a small kid walked up to me asking me for an autograph. I wondered why. While I was signing it for him, he was like 'I really liked you in Krrish.' That's when I realised he had mistaken me for Priyanka," she said in an interview. But will Gunjan continue to acknowledge the similarity once she enters Bollywood?

Zarine Khan & Katrina Kaif - Salman has apparently cast newcomer Zarine Khan in Veer. Zarine looks strikingly similar to Sallu's girlfriend Katrina. According to industry buzz, Zarine Khan caught Sallu baba's fancy while filming 'Yuvraaj' where she also doubled for Katrina. A member of the film's production unit has made things more interesting by telling the media that he mistook her for Katrina's sister. "But it turns out they are not related. The resemblance is uncanny," he was quoted as saying. Given Sallu's history with look-alikes of his lady-loves, one wonders what this pick means.

Nazia Hassan & Anushka Sharma - No one can doubt the petite 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' star Anushka Sharma's resemblance to the famous Pakistani singer Nazia Hassan. Nazia had shot to fame with the song Disco Deewane in the early 80s, she died of lung cancer at the age of 35. Though Anoushka has just started her stint in Bollywood, we hope she too becomes as popular as her look-alike.

Needhi Gill & Bipasha Basu - Sometime back Bipasha Basu also took on her double - calling Needhi Gill a C-grade actress.Gill later sent a legal notice to the actress claiming that Bipasha - The Black Beauty, the film in which she had played the lead, was in no way connected to Bipasha's life.

Sneha Ullal & Aishwarya Rai - Although Sneha Ullal, who made her debut opposite Salman Khan in 'Lucky: No Time for Love', keeps insisting that she is not an Aishwarya Rai clone, not many are ready to believe her. One look at the pictures here and you know why. What makes the resemblance more interesting is that Sneha was picked to play opposite Salman Khan when he had recently undergone a nasty breakup with Aishwarya Rai.

Harman Baweja & Hrithik Roshan - Their names start with the same letter, they both hail from a family of film professionals, they both are actors, they both are good dancers and they both look the same.

Even before the film's release, Harman was trying his best to play down comparisons with Hrithik Roshan. "I am taking baby steps into the industry and am being compared to somebody who is a well established superstar. It is like asking for too much. The expectations are taxing for a newcomer like me", he told the media. 'Love Story 2050' bombed at the box office and clearly just looking like Hrithik will not be Harman's passport to success.

Shiney Ahuja & Edgar Ramirez Arellano - Edgar Ramirez Arellano is a Venezuelan actor, whose claim to fame was a successful soap opera Cosita Rica. In 2005, he made his major motion picture debut playing Choco, Domino Harvey's love interest in the film 'Domino' directed by Tony Scott. Edgar might not be as popular as Shiney Ahuja but what's the harm in calling him the Videshi Shiney. That would make Shiney happy too for sure!

Aamir Khan and Tom Hanks - Two men bound together by much more than just their insanely good looks. Both are also brilliant actors known for their commitment to great cinema. What's more, now Aamir has expressed a desire to remake 'Forrest Gump', the movie that got Tom Hanks an Oscar.
